Serego Alighieri is a wine produced by descendants of celebrated Medieval Italian poet Dante Alighieri in the Valpolicella region of Italy. The Alighieri family settled in Valpolicella after Dante was exiled from Florence for his political beliefs. The Seregos and Alighieris have been bound by marriage since the 1500s. In 1973, Count Pieralvise Serego and neighbor Sandro Boscaini went into partnership to produce wines from their vineyards, and producer Masi Agricola handled the bottling, marketing and technical aspects.
